A 66-year-old man, whose sister reported him missing Feb. 11 as an endangered adult, showed up in good health Tuesday at his mother's home in Winter Haven, the Polk County Sheriff's Office said.

Edgar Todd told detectives that he left his house on Feb. 8 and took a bus to Valdosta, Ga., then walked and hitchhiked his way back to Buena Vista.

He told detectives that when his legs "gave out," a concerned passerby called an ambulance and he was taken to a hospital in Leesburg. After being discharged from the hospital, he took a cab to Winter Haven.

Sheriff's detectives followed up and confirmed Todd's whereabouts with Greyhound and the hospital.
